La Trattoria
12 High St, SwanageIt can be hard finding a restaurant in Swanage if you haven't booked in advance but we were lucky enough to score a table at La Trattoria. It's clearly very popular, especially with families, and that makes perfect sense as the staff are friendly and the food tasty.
What you're looking at is an old-school, family-owned Italian restaurant that offers a short but classic menu with all of the greatest hits. The food itself is nicely prepared and enjoyable but not fancy. It is, however, somewhat on the expensive side at £20-25 per head without alcohol.
Still it's nice to visit somewhere that isn't all about fried food or other seaside delights and we certainly never felt rushed despite the restaurant being packed out. So if you prefer to dine well over a harbour view then La Trattoria will see you right.

Seventh Wave
Durlston Country Park, Lighthouse Road, SwanageTerrific views, great service in cafe but fish and chips was terribly saturated in oil...batter too thick...it had clearly been Cooke and reheated and spoilt an otherwise excellent visit.

Wimpy
5 Institute Rd, SwanageA trip into Wimpy took me back to my childhood days, especially as the tiles look exactly the same.
The food was okay, BUT very expensive for what was burger & chips x2, and 2 kids meals. More expensive than Mc D's by 2 folds and I am not comparing to a drive through.
The service was good, staff were friendly.
Would we come back, unlikely due to price of food.

Greggs
14/16 Station Rd, SwanageI wanted to write a review about Greggs in Swanage because whenever we are there, whatever is going on, whether it is Carnival week or the middle of winter the staff are always there, open early and late, big smiles on their faces, really helpful. The place is always fully stocked and well run.

Golden Bengal
343 High St, SwanageFood in seaside towns can often be hit and miss but I'm happy to say that the Golden Bengal is excellent on all counts. The staff are friendly, the menu extensive and the dishes both fresh and tasty. They really know how to deliver a tasty supper. One slight word of warning though - when a menu item is labelled as 'hot' then you'd better believe it!

The Square & Compass
Worth Matravers, SwanageA shining example of a pub. Great seating lovely views. Great beer, great snacks and pasties, or even a brownie.
Has a good selection of crisps and sides.
It even has its own museum which is interesting and worth a visit anyway.

Love Cake
42 High St, SwanageHere for breakfast. Nice cafe with seating upstairs and downstairs. The upstairs gets a bit cramped and hard to get to the paying desk if full, downstairs was more spacious so we grabbed a table downstairs. Was looked after soon as we got through the door by helpful staff.
The food was great and nicely presented, I had vegan avocado on toast. They have soya milk etc for vegans but sadly no vegan cake on today. Previous reviews show that they usually have it so just my bad luck hehe. Toilets downstairs. Place would be a bit hard to navigate if you had mobility issues. Overall, a lovely cafe.

Chilled Red
1-5 Commercial Rd, SwanageMy wife and I finally made our first visit last week, and it won't be our last. Friendly, polite and efficient staff, who were so attentive at the right times. A fantastic choice of menu, and extremely enjoyable food. We weren't rushed, and we will be back. A word of advice for other diners who haven't been before - you need to probably book as it's that popular and that good. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

The Globe Inn
The Globe, 3 Bell St, SwanageThis is a nice, quiet pub that is now run by the community it seems. So it's a welcoming place which is nice to drop into if you're in the area (with or without a dog). They don't do food but they absolutely don't mind if you bring in a takeaway to enjoy with your pint.

The Kings Arms
27 High St, Langton Matravers, SwanageUnfortunately food was not available when we visited but at the time we were only looking for a snack.
What a pub, not necessarily to everyone's taste but the atmosphere and the socialside with the barman/landlord (?) and locals was really welcoming.
The Ale was awesome, my first pint tasted so good it disappeared so quick I had to buy another. Even better it was in a dimple glass with a handle.
Best PUB I have been in for ages.
